Well, today we are facing something called "hybrid war" which is somewhat worrisome, because aside of typical violence, psychological warfare means are used. It could cause great trauma to whole generations. Hybrid war creates a fear.

If you look at Europe today, terrorism is not the biggest worry, but the fear and rapid rise of extreme nationalism is. Racially motivated attacks are increasing. Formerly politically stable and calm countries are experiencing tensions, which go beyond politics. The minute a girl who puts shawl over her hair, because it is raining and she does not want to ruin her 'do and gets attacked by so-called "patriot" to whom anything worn on female head is a "burqa"... we have a problem. When it's okay to post on social media under your own name about killing people running from war and people like away, when you can talk about drowning refugees over work lunch and people agree... it shows a degradation of society.

When people in former soviet block praise Putin, because of their struggles (which are nothing compared to problems Putin's Russia is facing today. In fact, the more safe, higher HDI and stable the country is, the more there seems to be tension and fear).... yes, we should worry.

When we see terrorist attacks as "oh well, another week, another attack" and find coups exciting, eventhough we don't know on which side to stand (like in Turkey)... there is something horribly, horribly wrong.

Many people think we are not close to WWIII, but we are in fact in WWIII. Although it does not have strinking weapons ala Hollywood movies... yet. Just lots of wars on many fronts and hybrid attacks on western societies in attempts to cause fear, distrust and undermine our very own democratic foundation.
